Add score adjustments

At a glance

Score modifiers add fixed bonuses or deductions on top of rubric totals for a lesson. Editing them affects all learners on that lesson.

Prerequisites

• Grading a learner in Lightning Grader where modifiers exist on the lesson.

Steps

1. In grading detail, find the Score modifiers section on the rubric sidebar.
2. Click the edit control (Edit score modifiers) to open the management dialog.
3. For each modifier, Edit type (deduction/bonus), title, points, or optional description—or Delete to remove.
4. Save changes; existing scores update according to platform rules.

Modifiers are defined on activity/rubric configuration; the dialog manages lesson-level modifier records tied to blocks.

Common gotchas

• Deleting a modifier removes it for all students and may unapply it from existing scores.
• Modifiers are separate from manual rubric item scores—check both when reconciling totals.
